Rep. Nancy Mace Shows Off Tattoos, Says More Ink Is Coming | TMZ DC

Nancy. Hey, how are you? How are you going? I'm good. I got a baby. Who's this? This is Millie. And I got her during recess. I'm an empty nester and single, so I got a puppy so I could have a baby to take care of. Oh my God. So, isn't she cute? She's chocolate. She's so cute. What did you say her name was? Millie. And she gets kind of scared, and so that's why I'm holding her, because she's scared a little bit. So we're trying to socialize her, getting her, you know, going to go vote with me today. I love that. Did you get her because, I mean, no offense, you're going to have some extra time on your hands. I am definitely going to have extra time starting in January, and definitely want to get a puppy to fill some of that time. I love that. Back to the private sector I go. Are you going to the private sector? Oh yeah, for sure. Go back and work like every other hard-working American. You know, it's hard to find a job if you've got lots of tats these days. Is it? Yeah. It bit me. It bit you, didn't it? No, he didn't bite me. He didn't bite me. It's a she, not a he. She did bite me. Do not transgender my dog. She did bite me. I'm not transing your dog. Don't trans my dog. Oh my God. No. Um, what was the question? Oh, tattoos? I cover up for my government job, and half the country is tattooed, so it's been around for thousands of years, and I mean, look, I'll show you. Show us some ink, Nancy. I'll show you one little ink. Okay. See, this is my swallow. Is that cool? Swallow. And I got mama. Oh, wow. It's beautiful work. It's beautiful. I mean, I go to tattoo artists that tattoo other tattoo artists. You want the good, you know, the one. I love it. So you intentionally put them, like, above the sleeve so that you don't have to show them if you don't want to? Yeah. So I can cover up if I need to, like, for work. Or not. Or not cover up. Like, if I'm out walking the dog back home or at the gym, I'm not in a turtleneck. You know, tattoos, like, can kind of tell a story of someone's life. Yeah. A little bit. Yeah. Do you have different tattoos that kind of, like, signify something different? Like, can you tell me a story based off some of them? No, not yet. I will at one point. But, some point. But, no, it's definitely related to the trauma I've been through the last three years. And I'd rather, I'd rather sit and feel a needle than go talk to a therapist. Like, there's something to be said for sitting there and feeling. That's why a lot of people. You could do both. You can. Which I have. But for a lot of women who've been through trauma, it's something that they use as part of their healing process, and that's definitely been true for me. Are there any more tattoos on the horizon? Oh, I have a whole. I have a huge list. Oh, you do? I've got, I've got far more than nine. Um, and I'm not done yet. I gotta finish my half-sleeves. I'm not done yet. Why not a full sleeve? I want the option of. I've thought about it. I'm real, I'm, I'm real, like, I'm on edge of maybe going there, but I also like being able to cover up and not have any. That's a nice option. What about a face tat, Nancy? No, definitely not. Come on. No neck tattoos either. Nothing above the collarbone. Would you ever get, like, a tattoo with TMZ? With TMZ? Yeah. It depends. Will you get matching? Matching. We'll get matching TMZ logos. Oh, I won't do that. But, alright. Thank you. Okay. Hey, thanks Nancy. Bye.
